SSDP V. Rep. Mark Souder
Representative Mark Souder of Indiana is infamous among the elite SSDP social circles as the author of the Aid Elimination Penalty in the Higher Education Act Amendments of 1998. Souder is seen, to well-informed members of SSDP, as one of the foremost proposers of insensible marijuana policies. Souder has declined to engage in a debate with SSDP members regarding the Aid Elimination Penalty, and instead relies on ad hominem attacks calling the organization "nonsensical" and "legalizers". The "legalizers" comment came in a Dear Colleague letter written by Souder supporting the Higher Education Act Aid Elimination Penalty. SSDP has since responded with a professionally-written letter signed by over fifteen other organizations who also oppose the Aid Elimination Penalty including; the United Methodist Church, the National Education Association, the World Summit on the Information Society, and the American Federation of Teachers.

Famous quotes containing the word mark:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
